Chapter 7 - The Arrest
Victoria let out a loud, pathetic sob, falling to her knees on the expensive rug. The glamorous, arrogant woman was entirely shattered.
"He forced me!" Victoria shrieked, tears ruining her perfect makeup. "Gabriel, he found me! He threatened my family! He said if I didn't get the guards and the staff out of the house today, he would kill me! I had to frame the maid! I had to!"
Gabriel looked down at the woman he had almost married. He felt absolutely zero pity for her. She hadn't come to him for protection; she had chosen to orchestrate a hit on him to save her own skin, willing to destroy an innocent mother and child in the process.
"You chose the wrong brother," Gabriel said coldly.
Gabriel looked at the older guard standing by the door. He gave a single, sharp nod.
The guard immediately stepped forward, grabbing Victoria roughly by the arms and dragging her up from the floor.
"Take her down to the soundproof basement," Gabriel commanded, his voice echoing with absolute authority. "When Dominic arrives at the gates today, let him in. He's going to find a very different welcoming party than he expected."
